The Big Wild refers to the part of Canada that is still in its natural state. The large roadless area where rivers flow free, big lakes and oceans lap against wild shores and animals of diverse species roam as they have for thousands of years.

What is our Vision?

Our vision is to keep at least half of Canada's public land and water wild forever. We are realizing this vision by supporting wilderness conservation campaigns across Canada. The Big Wild helps these campaigns by,

• educating people about the urgent need to protect one of the world’s last remaining wilderness areas – which amounts to 20% of all that’s left on the planet

• raising funds for wilderness protection

• enabling people to show decision-makers they support wilderness protection

Who is The Big Wild?

Well, it’s you and me, and every person across Canada and around the world, who cares about conserving our environment.
Its founders are CPAWS (the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society), Canada's only nation-wide Non-Government Organization devoted solely to large-landscape public wilderness protection and Mountain Equipment Co-op, Canada's largest retail cooperative dedicated to supporting people in achieving the benefits of self-propelled wilderness and outdoor recreation.
